WISH LIST

We are available to receive donations at 620 S. Walnut Street during our open hours (8am to 4pm, Monday – Friday). Please call if those times are not accessible for you. We strongly ask that do not drop off donations outside our business hours as it often results in a significant mess for our staff to clean up the next day. Because of storage issues, we are limited in our ability to accept items not on this list or items out of the season they are appropriate for. We also specialize in day-to-day clothing, so would prefer not to receive dresses, suit jackets and pants, ties, nice shoes, jewelry, and other fancier clothing. If you have a gift you’d like to offer that is not on this list, please call us at (812) 334-5734 to see if we have a guest who needs it. You can also visit our Amazon wish list by clicking here.
